Applebee's has $1 margaritas every day of October: This is not a drill

WASHINGTON (WJLA) - Applebee's wants to remind people that it's not just a restaurant, it's a bar, too.

It's doing so by offering $1 margaritas for the entire month of October.

"We focus on our food a lot, but 'bar' is in our name, and it is an integral part of what makes Applebee's a great neighborhood destination," said the restaurant chain's vice president of beverage innovation, Patrick Kirk.

The $1 margaritas, which are also being called "Dollaritas," will be available from open to close at participating restaurants. The boozy deal also coincides with Applebee's Neighborhood Appreciation Month.

"Go ahead, put that dollar burning a hole in your pocket to good use and buy yourself something delicious," reads Applebee's website.
